FAQ

What is all this about?

At Mein Grundeinkommen we run the first crowdfunded basic income experiment. So far we have crowdfunded and raffled out more than 120 basic incomes, which is 1,5 million Euros. From Berlin, Germany, we are now taking our experiment to the international stage. In light of current technological disruptions we want to know what the tech world thinks about basic income – and start a conversation.

Can I donate only via PayPal?

You can use Paypal, Bitcoin or, if you are attending #websummit in Lisbon, you can come to our stand at the Beta startup exhibition space. There we can also process donations by card or in cash.

Our Bitcoin wallet address is 1LKAoq694ekJApBMnEmSpsphbMAEosYgni

How can I participate in the raffle?

When you tweet about #BasicIncomeChallenge you will automatically receive a raffle code. You can check it here by entering your twitter handle:

Is the raffle only for people from the tech world?

No, every human can take part. It’s an unconditional basic income.

How do you raffle out the basic income?

Every participant receives a unique raffle code. We will hold the raffle on Thursday, November 9th at MEO Arena, Lisbon and use our wheel of furtune to determine the winning code. The raffle will be shown and recorded via a livestream. We will share the link shortly before the raffle on this website and our Twitter account @meinbge.

How will I know that I’ve won?

We will contact you directly via Twitter. Also: we will live stream the raffle and publish a recording of it.

What if the crowdfunding is not successful?

In case we can’t raise a full basic income until Thursday, November 9th, 2017 we will use the money which has been donated in another way to advance the idea of basic income.

How can I get (and stay) in touch?

You can contact us via email at support@mein-grundeinkommen.de, Twitter @meinbge and subscribe to our newsletter or join our mailing list.

What if an organisation’s account wins the basic income?

Organisations that tweet about #BasicIncomeChallenge will automatically participate in our raffle. If they win we will let them decide who to give the basic income to.
